Many thanks dovefromabove. I think I may dig up one ( there are loads) to put in my shady border as they look so unusual

MORNING FORKERS

crap weather here in south wales rain is hammering down and blowing a gale. I just been out to put some plastic covers on the dahlias i have planted out over the last few days, the wind is wrecking them. My cherry blossom is all over the drive so no fruit again this year! lucky the rest of fruit trees have not flowererd yet so might have some luck with them. same thing happened last year just as the blossom came out and the tulips opened they were ruined. photo below of my new front garden border

My dahlia tubers are not doing anything

Poor year for me too with dahlias. I kept about 50 tubers last year they seemed fine after winter but rotted quickly when potted up. I think it just has been too cold. Only 12 have come back to life. Bishop variety has done the best and i have even split some of the tubers when they sprouted. some of the large cactus ones have come through but i lost all the dwarf bedding type. I also think they rather a dry heat. I initially started heating greenhouse with a parafin heater but it caused condensation. Switched to electric fan type and all my plants seem healthier. I always plant tubers with a bit of the top of the tuber showing above compost. i find if they are totally buried they rot easier. 

Late winter cuttings - what next

many thanks Chicky will try this week

Evergreen climbers

thanks for all you help. We are a bit cold up here so I think I will move it to a more sheltered position. It was planted about 3 years ago but we have had loads of snow every year. thanks Gardfening Grandma I will try some high pot ash feed it only had a bit of general type feed last year so that may perk it up.

Evergreen climbers

 Hi can anybody help with my sickly looking jasmine. Not sure of the name, it is evergreen and I have a had a few white flowers in the last 2 summers but they are very sparse, the leaves are always yellowish and blotchy. It grows on a west facing trellis planter is about 2.5ft deep and 6ftlong x1ft wide. We live on a hill but the wind hits the back of the fence behind the jasmine So is fairly sheltered. On the same fence i have a climbing rose and a solarium(dont know if spelt right sorry) in seperate planters which flower really well, so dont know what I am doing wrong with the jasmine. They also get good sun from 10am till dark . Any ideas gratefully received
